664.0. "Need help for summer hire referral" by PVX::ENG () Thu Nov 17 1988 13:24

    I would like to help out a friend's niece to explore summer job
    opportunities in DEC next summer. She has a BA in Finance/Business
    and 1st year in MBA program. 
    Questions:
    	. Is there any corporate summer hire program?
    	. Who and when to contact?
    	. Any suggestion for what job categories or departments to try?
    	  (Since I am in Engineering, I'm not familiar job descriptions
    	   for other fields).
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    Some MBA programs have internship programs.  What program is she
    in?
    
664.2BOSTON::SOHNMardi Gras '89 bound! (and gagged?)Fri Nov 18 1988 11:4511
	She might want to try the SWS Banking or Financial Services units in
	Boston. Managers are Stefania Calabi for Banking and Joe Perez for
	Financial Services. Both have ALLIN1 mail accounts on the NEMAIL
	cluster.

	Alternatively, there's also the NY Financial District, the Banking
	ACT in NY, the Banking SICs in NY and Santa Clara, and SWS units
	all over the country (e.g. Chicago, which has a fun implementation
	at Continental Illinois just gearing up)

The summer hiring program has two points of sponsorship.  First, there
is a corporate (or maybe a tad lower) decision as to how many summer
hires will take place.  These numbers are allocated down, by functions
and by locations.  If the spending profiles don't look good, there
may not be any summer hiring in a given year.

The program is administered by the local site, as I understand it.
In other words, the applicant's resume/appication should be sent
to every DEC facility (personnel department) within commuting range.
Each facility runs according to their own calendar, but March is 
probably the time to start making phone calls.

You should contact your own local recruiter for more information, and
for an application when they're available.  Let the recruiter help
you match the applicant with the right job titles.

A manager who wants to hire a summer-hire must open a requisition in 
order to do so.  Hiring managers are strongly encouraged to select
an applicant who is already in one of Digital's scholarship programs
(e.g. Women in Engineering, and others).

Having hired summer folks in the past, I strongly recommend it to
other managers.  Helps build strong organizations in 12 ways...such
as, you get to preview potential college-hires, you help lock-in a
top college prospect who'll think DEC is the best place to work,
you bring youth into your organization, you give a more-senior person
a chance to develop their supervisory skills in a low-pressure setting,
and you get to lop off some of your backlog of work.

[p.s. Sites also do some summer hiring into their maintenance crews
 and other local organizations, and Tobins does a fair bit of summer
 recruiting.]
